Epilogue

"Dad? Where is my lunch?" Ace asked, becoming slightly frantic.

"Calm down Ace. Your Papa is working on it right now." Ikki answered, walking into the living room where his son was.

"Papa?! I'm running late! Can you hurry up please?" Ace asked running into the kitchen.

"You are not late, Ace. You have half an hour until school starts and we drive you. Also stop running through the house." Shin answered sternly.

"Sorry Papa." Ace replied.

"Here is your lunch. Now go finish getting ready." Shin replied, handing Ace his lunch.

"Thanks Papa." Ace said quickly, taking the lunch and racing back to his room.

"Stop running!" Shin yelled after him.

"Oh relax, Babe." Ikki said, walking over to Shin and pulling him close. "He's just excited because it's his first day of high school."

"I think I'm more nervous than he is." Shin replied.

"Everything will be fine and he knows that he can talk to us if there are any problems." Ikki replied.

"Thanks Hun." Shin said, smiling. Shin leaned up and kissed Ikki.

"Ewww! Dad! Papa! Do you have to do that here?!" Ace shrieked.

The two separated and laughed. "Come on Ace. Let's get you to school." Ikki replied, pulling away from his husband and took his hand.

"Just no more couple stuff when I can see, okay?" Ace asked, slinging his book bag over his shoulder.

"No promises." Shin and Ikki answered simultaneously.

After Ikki and Shin dropped Ace off at school, they stared driving to work. Now they owned and ran a restaurant together.

"I'm glad we have Ace." Shin said, looking out the window.

"So am I. It has made the last 14 years of our lives interesting and entertaining." Ikki replied.

"14 years. Man time flies. We've had Ace for 14 years and we have been married for 20 years." Shin said to no one really.

"I love you Shin." Ikki said, glancing quickly at Shin then back to the road.

"I love you too Ikkyu." Shin replied, smiling.
